How can we make it easier to protect threatened trees in Chicago? 🌳 Biota Awardee, Sean Hoban of The Morton Arboretum is working toward a solution for that. Sean’s project makes assessing the genetic diversity of trees easier and more cost-effective through applying the ‘genetic diversity indicators’ he developed. These indicators use simple data, like population sizes, to assess the genetic status of a species. Sean will scale this approach with 200 tree species to help create genetically-informed recommendations to protect threatened trees.

📣"Population Genetic Divergence among Worldwide Gene Pools of the Mediterranean Mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis" 👥Yassine OUAGAJJOU, Adil Aghzar, and Pablo Presa. The smooth-shelled marine mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis maintains its genetic integrity on a worldwide scale. M. galloprovincialis from the Atlantic Northeast is the most likely source of exotic settlements worldwide. As a super-adaptive species, this species should not be considered invasive in a human-like supremacist manner, but rather a flexible evolutionary species. The worldwide distribution of this species suggests that it is naturally endowed with plastic adaptation able to counteract stressful conditions and provide intergeneric ecological opportunities upon climatic rarefaction.

📃Scientific paper: Diversity of protist genera in periphyton of tufa-depositing karstic river Abstract: Purpose In aquatic ecosystems, protists play a crucial role and cover numerous ecological functions. The karstic Krka River (Croatia) is a unique hotspot for high diversity of aquatic organisms, especially protists. The main objective of the present study was to obtain a detailed overview of the protist community structure in the periphyton of the Krka River and to determine the differences in protist diversity along the river. Methods Protist diversity was detected by amplicon sequencing of the hypervariable region V9 of the 18S rRNA gene, using the universal eukaryotic primer pair. Results The three main groups of protists were as follows: Ciliophora, Cercozoa, and Bacillariophyta. In terms of abundance of protist OTUs, the shade plot revealed an evident difference from the upstream to downstream river section, which increased between locations from Krka spring to Skradinski buk. Diversity was explored using measures of alpha and beta diversity. Alpha diversity showed an increasing trend in the downstream direction of the river. The location effect, or clustering/grouping of samples by location, was confirmed by the PERMANOVA permutation test of beta diversity. Conclusion The combination of alpha and beta diversity can help provide deeper insight into the study of diversity patterns, but also point out to decline in species diversity and allow for effective ways to protect aquatic karst habitats in future management.
